Experience with a PhenomII X6 1090T. The foss driver was nowhere near good enough for what one would expect although usable, but I didn't try the propriatory driver because I didn't want to invest the time because I use an nvidia card anyway. The nvidia foss driver is diabolical - slooow, buggy, max resolution less than monitor i.e. unusable/useless. I have never had a problem with nvidia in many years. Happy to try the ati propriatory driver next time I have cause, but based on their past performance and reputation, being forced to choose, I'd buy nvidia instead of running the risk and spending time on some ati stuff. For a laptop my first 3 choices would be intel, 4th nvidia, and 7th ati. Too risky there because useless components can't be replaced.
